Science Fairs.

Science Fair, Robotics, Coding Clubs.
What opportunities have you taken to advance your career (research, internships, etc.)? What have you learned through these experiences?
Internships, personal projects, research out of curiosity.
Do you have any advice you would like to share?
Only do CS if you’re passionate about it, not for the money. If you don’t have a passion for it you won’t like what you end up doing for a living. It’s one of those things that requires that drive and passion in order to actually enjoy what you’re doing for a living despite the money.
